:Hm, I didn’t concentrate on “nowˮ, “butˮ and “problemˮ so far. Let me speculate a bit (... adding value for a fictional text ^^ ) In aspect of translation: “nowˮ is just an additional signal word for present time, in exist also in German but isn’t that much used. It missing shouldn’t be a “problemˮ like ''Konoko’s passive''. (Well, how you said: it’s free translation, so let us just forget it.) | |||
:Hm, I didn’t | :Key word “problemˮ... I think it refer to catastrophe’s cause. Dead people = problem; toxic air = cause. After that everyone will ask the cause’s cause... toxic air <= ''exploded'' AACs <= Syndicate’s and Konoko’s actions <= and in the end (if the mad mob wants to know – hey, right now this made it impossible...) they ask about WCG non-doing of preventing more toxins. Here goes some manual sentence: | ||

:My own (rather ancient) inquisition can be found [http://web.archive.org/web/20070226155159/http://oni.bungie.org/forums/index.php?threadid=9 here] (page 6, end of post 254). | |||
:You didn't address the "but". As for the "problem", the "cause of the cause of the cause" is a bit far-fetched, but indeed nothing else seems to make sense. Or rather... | |||
:My current impression is that the WCG is ''completely ignored'' by Mai in her final statement. | |||
:Her final words are about Hasegawa's "dream" coming true: the Chrysalis becoming the only way to save the world from "the nightmare that killed [Jamie]". | |||
:The "problem" seems to be that "mankind as we knew it is doomed". Pollution taken as such, regardless the causes and responsibilities and possible "soft" solutions. "The world [...] is poisonous". | |||
:Whether the WCG could/can do something about it is not the point. Mai's and Hasegawa's (and Muro's) "point" is that ''fighting pollution is a no-way''. You ''have'' to "adapt to the new world", and that's what everybody's been "denying". (note that it's ''their'' POV, not mine) | |||
:The "but" then also makes sense. Sure, pollution is killing millions/billions worldwide, ''but'' at least it's clear that we're ''all'' doomed ''unless''... | |||
:In this catastrophic situation, the Chrysalis gets a chance to actually ''prove'' its worth: "the salvation of the afflicted". "After all" because without the catastrophe it didn't stand a chance (regulation, scientific approach, unbiased ethics, etc). | |||
:So, now that the closing tirade is clear, the question is: in how far is it realistic? How much of Mai's wishful thinking will actually come true? | |||
:I'll be moving these considerations somewhere (maybe posting them on {{OCF}}), obviously. | |||
:Maybe onto stripey's "Human society after..." thread? How about posting your stuff first? | |||

:As for the Mai=scapegoat thing, obviously if neither the WCG nor the beheaded Syndicate are interested in chaos, they will both blame everything on Mai/Muro/Hasegawa. | |||
:In very many ways, Hasegawa is a mad scientist, overreacting to his wife's death, and dedicating his life to a ''revolution'' of mankind and society. | |||
:Muro was acting in that direction, and at the end of Oni, Mai is no better: she really feels like preaching that "Mankind as we knew it is doomed. The Chrysalis will change us all". | |||
:It's really nice how this connects to Sturm & Drang (Loser was the first one who pointed it out). | |||
:Blaming everything on the Hasegawas is not only convenient; it's actually ''fair''. So there's no reason for the Syndicate or the WCG to blame anything on each other. Thus nothing stands in the way of fusion. | |||
:As for Mai, what would happen if ''she'' becomes ''the'' public enemy is, in short, ''a nightmare'' ^^ | |||
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 12:56, 9 February 2007 (CET) | |||
:Quote from ASFO2 page 6: Mr. Alloc, [...] just kill Muro and listen to the cinematic : "When ''I'' blew the Processors...". | |||
:Isn't he German too? ''who cares what the translators were smoking?'' For Oni 2 we should care^^ | |||
::''I don't like the idea of setting a whole sequel in a post- apocalyptic environment'' | |||
:I will work on more background theories.. | |||
::''That she turned a world-wide ultimatum in world-wide desolation. They'll "help her understand" just what her action has made her in the eyes of the public, that she couldn't have harmed the world's population more or helped the Syndicate in a more direct way than by doing what she did.'' | |||
:You mentioned ''ultimatum'', so Muro didn't wanted an apocalypse. You thought in a "human-sized" way.^^ That would be a crossing point for my own stuff. | |||
:She ignored WCG - yes because the first cause is the toxic air (you mentioned here, I did in forum). The Chaining is more out of a neutral one's view and out of her view. She don't care about past (general pollution) and future (desolation), she wanted to rescue the world by killing Muro only -- now your ''They'll "help her understand"'' from above comes again. | |||
::From ASFO2-thread (page 7 again): ''I don't want do diabolize the Daodan''(*) | |||
::''How much of Mai's wishful thinking will actually come true?'' | |||
:Hm, after all that talk in "Strange things about Oni's plotline" thread.. - What is then about Muro's poetry..? | |||
::''Mai=scapegoat'' [...] ''Thus nothing stands in the way of fusion.'' + ''As for Mai, what would happen if she becomes the public enemy is, in short, a nightmare ^^'' | |||
:Absolute, in a first view Oni 2 gameplay would become mostly impossible. We need massive constructions .. erm, discussions how to..^^ | |||
